All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadow shall spring
Renewed shall be blade that was broken.
The crownless again shall be king.
That has to be the best one. I tell myself that all that is gold does not glitter whenever I'm having a bad hair day or something.
Also, I love Legolas's sea song, but I don't have that one memorized.
And I love the Lay of Leithian. I'm memorizing that one too, so I can mumble it and freak out non-Tolkien disciples.
